  • Cancer is a collection of related diseases characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of cells with the potential to metastasize throughout the body. Cancer can be classified into five broad categories including, for example: carcinomas, which can arise from cells that cover internal and external parts of the body such as the lung, breast, and colon; sarcomas, which can arise from cells that are located in bone, cartilage, fat, connective tissue, muscle, and other supportive tissues; lymphomas, which can arise in the lymph nodes and immune system tissues; leukemia, which can arise in the bone marrow and accumulate in the bloodstream; and adenomas, which can arise in the thyroid, the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland, and other glandular tissues.
  • carcinomas which can arise from cells that cover internal and external parts of the body such as the lung, breast, and colon
  • sarcomas which can arise from cells that are located in bone, cartilage, fat, connective tissue, muscle, and other supportive tissues
  • lymphomas which can arise in the lymph nodes and immune system tissues
  • leukemia which can
  • Cancer begins when a cell breaks free from the normal restraints on cell division and begins to grow and divide out of control. Genetic mutations in the cell can preclude the ability of the cell to repair damaged DNA or initiate apoptosis, and can result in uncontrolled growth and division of cells.
  • Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes can regulate the proliferation of cells. Genetic mutations can affect oncogenes and tumor suppressors, potentially activating or suppressing activity abnormally, further facilitating uncontrolled cell division. Whereas oncogenes assist in cellular growth, tumor suppressor genes slow cell division by repairing damaged DNA and activating apoptosis.
  • Cellular oncogenes that can be mutated in cancer include, for example, Cdkl, Cdk2, Cdk3, Cdk4, Cdk6, EGFR, PDGFR, VEGF, HER2, Raf kinase, K-Ras, and myc.
  • Tumor suppressor genes that can be mutated in cancer include, for example, BRCA1,
  • BRCA2 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1C, Retinoblastoma protein (pRb), PTEN, pi 6, p27, p53, and p73.
  • Tumor suppressor p53 Tumor suppressor p53
  • the tumor suppressor protein p53 is a 393 amino acid transcription factor that can regulate cell growth in response to cellular stresses including, for example, UV radiation, hypoxia, oncogene activation, and DNA damage.
  • p53 has various mechanisms for inhibiting the progression of cancer including, for example, initiation of apoptosis, maintenance of genomic stability, cell cycle arrest, induction of senescence, and inhibition of angiogenesis. Due to the critical role of p53 in tumor suppression, p53 is inactivated in almost all cancers either by direct mutation or through perturbation of associated signaling pathways involved in tumor suppression. Homozygous loss of the p53 gene occurs in almost all types of cancer, including carcinomas of the breast, colon, and lung. The presence of certain p53 mutations in several types of human cancer can correlate with less favorable patient prognosis.
  • p53 levels are maintained at low levels via the interaction of p53 with Mdm2, an E3 ubiquitin ligase.
  • Mdm2 can target p53 for degradation by the proteasome.
  • the interaction between Mdm2 and p53 is disrupted, and p53 accumulates.
  • the critical event leading to the activation of p53 is phosphorylation of the N-terminal domain of p53 by protein kinases, thereby transducing upstream stress signals.
  • the phosphorylation of p53 leads to a conformational change, which can promote DNA binding by p53 and allow transcription of downstream effectors.
  • p53 can induce, for example, the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, the extrinsic apoptotic pathway, cell cycle arrest, senescence, and DNA repair.
  • p53 can activate proteins involved in the above pathways including, for example, Fas/Apol, KILLER/DR5, Bax, Puma, Noxa, Bid, caspase-3, caspase-6, caspase-7, caspase-8, caspase-9, and p21 (WAFl). Additionally, p53 can repress the transcription of a variety of genes including, for example, c-MYC, Cyclin B, VEGF, RAD51, and hTERT.
  • Each chain of the p53 tetramer is composed of several functional domains including the transactivation domain (amino acids 1-100), the DNA-binding domain (amino acids 101- 306), and the tetramerization domain (amino acids 307-355), which are highly mobile and largely unstructured.
  • Most p53 cancer mutations are located in the DNA-binding core domain of the protein, which contains a central / ⁇ -sandwich of anti-parallel / ⁇ -sheets that serves as a basic scaffold for the DNA-binding surface.
  • the DNA-binding surface is composed of two ⁇ - turn loops, L2 and L3, which are stabilized by a zinc ion, for example, at Argl75 and Arg248, and a loop-sheet-helix motif.
  • Mutations in p53 located in the DNA-binding domain of the protein or periphery of the DNA-binding surface result in aberrant protein folding required for DNA recognition and binding. Mutations in p53 can occur, for example, at amino acids Vall43, Hisl68, Argl75, Tyr220, Gly245, Arg248, Arg249, Phe270, Arg273, and Arg282.
  • p53 mutations that can abrogate the activity of p53 include, for example, R175H, Y220C, G245S, R248Q, R248W, R273H, and R282H. These p53 mutations can either distort the structure of the DNA-binding site or thermodynamically destabilize the folded protein at body temperature. Wild-type function of p53 mutants can be recovered by binding of the p53 mutant to a compound that can shift the folding-unfolding equilibrium towards the folded state, thereby reducing the rate of unfolding and destabilization.
  • Non-limiting examples of amino acids include: alanine (A,Ala); arginine (R, Arg); asparagine (N, Asn); aspartic acid (D, Asp); cysteine (C, Cys); glutamic acid (E, Glu);

  • antibodies specific for the wild type of mutant conformation of p53 can be used to detect a conformational change via, for example, immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), or immunoblotting.
